Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family

Chapter 907: The spiritual consciousness is amplified, the bones do not decay, and the corpse is transformed into immortality!

Chapter 903: Divine Sense Amplification, Un-decaying Bone, Corpse Dissolution Immortal!

Although Nascent Soul cultivators usually appear and disappear like dragons, rarely showing themselves in public unless there’s an emergency.

However, upon receiving news of Yangming True Lord’s arrival, even though he said there was no rush, the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse and A Youduo immediately rushed to Yinming Ghost Sect.

Learning that Lu Changsheng was in his Immortal Cave and not to be disturbed, these two Jin Country True Lords settled down in Yinming Ghost Sect, waiting quietly.

Half a month later.

While resting in the Immortal Cave, waiting for Lu Changsheng to exit seclusion, the Divine Souls of the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse and A Youduo suddenly trembled, and they rose, looking towards the deepest part of Yinming Ghost Sect.

This was once Ming Sha True Lord’s Immortal Cave, now occupied by Yangming True Lord.

Above the Immortal Cave, shrouded by a dark cloud Formation and filled with a chilling Devilish Qi, a fierce wind suddenly arose, and countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered.

A tangible yet intangible deity, glowing with a faint golden luster, shimmered into existence, like a golden blazing sun, emitting brilliant light;

It was also like the sun and moon shining together, shattered gold and moonlight intertwining, merging, colliding, then suddenly separating;

The dim sky, the low-hanging dark clouds, and the chilling Devilish Qi of Yinming Ghost Sect, under this celestial phenomenon, surprisingly gained a touch of sacred aura.

However, with multiple Formations isolating it, the celestial phenomenon primarily affected the Immortal Cave area in the deepest part of Yinming Ghost Sect, as if this section was separated.

Following the celestial phenomenon, not only A Youduo and the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse, but also the Core Formation cultivators of Yinming Ghost Sect noticed the commotion from the depths, gazing with reverence.

It was just that this place was a Sect Forbidden Land, isolated by a fourth-tier Formation, so they couldn’t see clearly.

They only felt that in the depths, a deity stood, and countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi naturally gathered, bowing to it, forming golden light and silver mist, auspicious and propitious light.

This commotion did not last long.

Half a day later, a faint, ethereal sound resounded through Yinming Ghost Sect.

It was like the long roar of a Dragon, melodious and clear, yet also like the subtle sound of the Great Dao, the teaching of a sage, or the prayers of ancient people, spanning endless years and time.

The Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators of Yinming Ghost Sect, hearing this sound, only felt as if a deity or a sage had revived and manifested, their power terrifying and full of oppressive might.

However, A Youduo and the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse, as Nascent Soul cultivators, felt their Divine Souls tremble, sensing a terrifying Divine Soul pressure and fluctuation.

Although it was very subtle.

It was almost fleeting.

But they clearly realized that this was the Divine Sense power of a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator!

Not merely newly entered Nascent Soul middle stage.

At least Nascent Soul fifth layer, or even sixth layer!

Deep within Yinming Ghost Sect, inside Ming Sha True Lord’s Immortal Cave.

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid Qi.

He hadn’t expected his Cultivation of Devouring God Art to cause such a grand celestial phenomenon.

Feeling his greatly enhanced Divine Soul, and his Divine Sense power directly doubling, his face was filled with joy.

Although the Cultivation requirements for Devouring God Art were stringent.

But as long as it was successfully Cultivated, Divine Sense could gain an incredible amplification, directly doubling!

Originally, Lu Changsheng, relying on the Taiyi Soul Body and the Yin-Yang Myriad Laws Nascent Soul, had a Divine Soul comparable to a Nascent Soul middle stage Cultivator as soon as he achieved Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Now, having successfully Cultivated the Devouring God Art, he has directly advanced from merely comparable, barely stepping into the threshold of Nascent Soul middle stage, to reaching the level of Nascent Soul sixth layer!

This kind of improvement and amplification can be said to be nothing short of exaggerated.

And this is only the first layer of Devouring God Art.

His current Cultivation Realm, as long as he adapts and stabilizes this Divine Soul and Divine Sense power, he can continue to Cultivate the second layer of Devouring God Art!

Once he breaks through the second layer, his Divine Sense will break through the Heavenly Tribulation between Nascent Soul middle stage and Nascent Soul Late Stage!

With the Taiyi Soul Body’s diminishing effectiveness, Lu Changsheng had always worried that his Divine Soul would become his weakness.

In the future, facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator, he might easily be at a disadvantage in terms of Divine Soul, becoming a Breakthrough point.

But now, having successfully Cultivated the Devouring God Art, his Divine Sense power has directly become his strength!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was incredibly eager for the state where he would successfully Cultivate the second layer of Devouring God Art and his Divine Soul power would advance further.

With a thought, the entire situation of Yinming Ghost Sect was clear at a glance.

Seeing that A Youduo and the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse had already arrived, and that everyone in the Sect was paying attention to his situation, Lu Changsheng, in the guise of Yangming True Lord, stepped out of his Immortal Cave.

“Nangong Mili, your Husband’s Cultivation of a Divine Ability caused some commotion; go deal with it.”

Lu Changsheng transmitted a message to Nangong Mili.

Under normal circumstances, Ming Sha True Lord’s Immortal Cave would be sufficient to isolate such Cultivation commotions and celestial phenomena.

It was just that the Formation of this Immortal Cave had been forcibly broken by him and Tihun Beast earlier, resulting in many damages and a significant reduction in power.

Furthermore, this Immortal Cave’s Formation was connected to Yinming Ghost Sect’s fourth-tier grand Formation.

But Yinming Ghost Sect’s fourth-tier grand Formation had its Foundation damaged and its power reduced because Tihun Beast had devoured a large number of ghost spirits.

Therefore, under these circumstances, all the Formations and Restrictions of Yinming Ghost Sect had dropped by one level, unable to completely isolate his Cultivation commotion.

Fortunately, this commotion was not overly exaggerated; only the high-ranking Cultivators of Yinming Ghost Sect were aware of it.

“Mhm~”

As time passed, Nangong Mili’s mindset had already completely transformed; she was now utterly obedient, gentle, and considerate towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the main hall and transmitted a message to A Youduo and the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse: “A Youduo, Fellow Daoist Yan, come to the hall for a chat.”

The two instantly arrived, looking respectfully at Lu Changsheng, who was clad in a black robe and cloak, and bowed.

“Greetings, Master!”

Previously, the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse still harbored some small intentions towards the Yangming True Lord before him.

But upon receiving news of the Liang Yue War, his mindset changed; he cast aside his arrogance, wishing only to tie himself to the Great Dream Immortal City, this grand ship.

Especially just now, the faint Divine Soul pressure leaked during Lu Changsheng’s Cultivation of Devouring God Art had caused him great deterrence once more.

“I’ve kept you waiting.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile, without much pretense.

Nascent Soul cultivators, no matter where, belong to the high-ranking Cultivators.

Even though the two had already submitted, they still needed to be given respect.

The two quickly stated that they had just arrived and had not waited long, and that they had nothing else to do.

After a few pleasantries, Lu Changsheng spoke: “You should have received news about the Liang Yue War, right?”

The two immediately praised their Master’s Divine Might and inquired curiously about the situation of the Devil Dao Emissary.

“Now that the Liang Yue War has been settled, Heaven Sword Sect will relocate to Liang Country, and Jiang Country will belong to me.”

“Currently, I lack available personnel. Liang Country has many assets and war prisoners that need to be taken over and handled. Your two Sects should each arrange some personnel to go to Liang Country to assist.”

Lu Changsheng said to the two.

Currently, Liang Country’s assets and war prisoners are being taken over and handled by his son, Lu Lingxiao, and Burning Demise True Lord.

The takeover and resettlement of these war prisoners is a very large undertaking.

Although Burning Demise True Lord, leading the Cultivators of Shura Sect, could handle it properly.

However, Lu Changsheng did not fully trust Burning Demise True Lord.

It was impossible to completely hand it over to Burning Demise True Lord.

Moreover, after Heaven Sword Sect relocates, the takeover and management of Jiang Country’s assets and territory also require manpower.

Relying solely on his Lu family disciples is far from enough.

He needs to introduce other forces to form a balance and stability.

“Please rest assured, Master.” The two were very willing to serve Lu Changsheng.

Furthermore, Jiang Country belonging to Great Dream Immortal City meant that Jin and Jiang Countries could now communicate with each other, which was also beneficial to them.

At this moment, Yan Wujiang tentatively asked: “Master, when you pacified Liang Country, did the Devil Dao Emissary behind Beast God Mountain intervene, and will he still act against us?”

Although they were unaware of Moro’s situation, they knew that a Devil Dao Emissary from the Seven Demonic Sects had been instigating the Liang Yue War.

They were very wary of this Devil Dao Emissary.

They worried that he would retaliate against them.

“Don’t worry, this person has already departed and will not dare to appear for a short time.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly and indifferently, without elaborating further.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse and A Youduo were shocked upon hearing this.

They knew that for their Master to say this, it meant that the Devil Dao Emissary had intervened, but was repelled, or even severely injured, by their Master.

After discussing official matters, Lu Changsheng thought of one of the purposes of his trip: he released a crystal coffin through the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus.

It was precisely the coffin in which Bing’er was sleeping.

At that time, Bing’er had fallen into a long sleep, and he was preoccupied with various matters, so he had never disturbed her.

Now, with Yan Wujiang, a Corpse Dao Grandmaster, Lu Changsheng wanted to ask him to examine Bing’er’s condition and see if he could discern her origin and background.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse saw the crystal coffin and recalled Lu Changsheng’s previous inquiries about Yin Corpse issues.

He realized that the Yin Corpse mentioned by the other party was sleeping within this coffin.

“Master, is the Yin Corpse you mentioned earlier sleeping within this coffin?”

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse carefully examined the crystal coffin.

It was like jade, yet also like ice crystal or ice essence, making it impossible to see the situation inside, and it also had the effect of isolating magic power and Divine Sense.

He immediately felt a sense of anticipation, wanting to know the situation of the Yin Corpse within the coffin.

After all, how could something so highly valued by Yangming True Lord, a Reincarnation of a Great Cultivator, be ordinary?

A Youduo also observed the coffin before her.

“Yes, so I’d like to ask you to take a look for me.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and stepped forward to lift the coffin lid.

Instantly, a bone-chilling aura emanated from the coffin.

Within the coffin lay a beautiful woman with snow-white skin and delicate features, her entire body covered in a thin layer of frost, as if formed from ice crystals.

As the coffin was opened, the frost on the woman’s face and body began to melt.

Her eyelashes, still adorned with some frost, fluttered gently like two small fans, as if she were about to awaken.

“What pure Profound Yin Cold Qi!”

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse recognized this chilling aura as Profound Yin Cold Qi, not ordinary cold Qi.

He continued to look at Bing’er in the coffin.

“Woo~” The frost on Bing’er’s face completely dissipated, and she woke up in a daze, like a kitten purring.

Her eyes were exceptionally clear, without any Impurities, like a clear spring in an empty mountain, filled with an indescribably pure quality.

“Brother!” She seemed to smell Lu Changsheng’s aura, her spirit lifted, the sleepiness on her face vanished, and she looked at Lu Changsheng, who was disguised as Yangming True Lord in a black robe and cloak.

She was a little puzzled, why was Brother different?

“Bing’er.” Lu Changsheng reached out to her and called out.

Upon hearing this, Bing’er immediately recognized Lu Changsheng in front of her, got up and hugged him, her expression intimate and dependent.

Lu Changsheng felt that Bing’er’s Physical Body strength seemed to have increased significantly.

In her early years, Bing’er already possessed extraordinary physique, equivalent to a Body Refining Cultivator in the Late Stage of the third rank.

But now, Lu Changsheng felt her physique was directly approaching the fourth rank.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, can you discern Bing’er’s condition?”

Lu Changsheng held Bing’er, whom he hadn’t seen for many years, and asked Yan Wujiang.

“Didn’t Yin Yu’e say that Yangming True Lord dislikes Yin Corpses?”

Yan Wujiang looked at Lu Changsheng’s doting and loving expression towards Bing’er and thought to himself.

Earlier, he had asked Yin Yu’e about her current relationship progress with Yangming True Lord, and she had stated that Yangming True Lord disliked Yin Corpses.

Even her Natal Corpse, Yin Wugou, had caused Yangming True Lord’s displeasure.

But what was going on here?

Could it be that he disliked Yin Wugou because she wasn’t good-looking?

Although Yin Wugou’s appearance was not as good as Bing’er’s in front of him.

She could still be considered excellent.

Without overthinking, Yan Wujiang used his Divine Sense to observe Bing’er’s condition and realized that she was completely different from the Yin Corpses he cultivated and refined.

Had it not been for seeing her wake up, with a rich, incomparably cold Corpse Qi flowing through her Physical Body, he would not have been able to tell that she was an Yin Corpse.

She was like a young girl with a pure heart!

He asked Lu Changsheng about Bing’er’s condition, wanting to get closer and examine her Physical Body.

“No!” However, Bing’er showed no closeness to Yan Wujiang, who practiced the Corpse Dao, and was very resistant.

Facing this situation, Yan Wujiang was helpless and could only observe with his Divine Sense, but he couldn’t discern much.

He continued to ask Lu Changsheng about Bing’er’s Profound Yin Evil Qi.

But the Profound Yin Evil Qi and Devilish Qi would only gradually appear after Bing’er had been out of the coffin for a long time and started to feel sleepy.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse looked at Bing’er’s dependent and affectionate gaze towards Lu Changsheng, cupped his hands, and excused himself, stating that if Bing’er had any issues, Lu Changsheng should call him again.

Although A Youduo wanted to express her longing to Lu Changsheng, seeing the current situation, she, like the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse, also excused herself first.

“Alright.”

After Yan Wujiang and A Youduo left, Lu Changsheng proactively checked Bing’er’s Physical Body.

Her extraordinary physique had greatly improved, infinitely approaching the fourth rank.

Besides that, Lu Changsheng noticed that Bing’er’s bones were different from before.

It was as if she had Cultivated some Body Refining Cultivation Technique, undergoing tempering, with each bone crystal clear and transparent, condensing some kind of pattern Dao Rhyme.

He narrowed his eyes, memorized these Dao Rhyme patterns, and continued to delve deeper into Bing’er’s condition.

Aside from her Physical Body and bones, Lu Changsheng did not find any other differences in Bing’er.

Several days later, Bing’er began to feel sleepy.

Within the cold Corpse Qi flowing through her body, a faint Devilish Qi and Evil Qi gradually emerged.

Lu Changsheng immediately summoned Yan Wujiang.

The latter, sensing the Devilish Qi and Evil Qi in Bing’er’s body, immediately exclaimed, “Corpse Devil Prime Qi!”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and asked what Corpse Devil Prime Qi was.

“Master, Corpse Devil Prime Qi is the highest-grade Corpse Devil Qi, possessed only by top-tier Corpse Devils of excellent quality.”

“Even my Heavenly Corpse Sect’s top-tier refined corpse in the Corpse Devil lineage, the ‘Golden Armored Corpse Devil,’ struggles to Cultivate Corpse Devil Prime Qi; it must advance to the fourth rank and be nurtured with various Heaven And Earth Treasure before there’s a chance to transform its Corpse Devil Qi into Corpse Devil Prime Qi.”

Yan Wujiang said excitedly, “But even so, the Corpse Devil Prime Qi is not as pure as Young Miss Bing’er’s Corpse Devil Prime Qi.”

“This kind of Prime Qi not only has a great suppressive effect on other Corpse Devils, but it can also be used as a spiritual item for refining corpses, nourishing and cultivating other Yin Corpses and Corpse Devils!”

Yan Wujiang looked at Bing’er in front of him, speaking with excitement and longing.

If Lu Changsheng hadn’t been there, he would have even wanted to research and dissect Bing’er’s corpse to understand why she possessed such pure Corpse Devil Prime Qi.

If he could understand Bing’er, it would greatly help his Heavenly Corpse Sect’s actual improvement.

“Brother, sleepy…”

Bing’er timidly said to Lu Changsheng, her delicate, pale face and innocent, tender beautiful eyes could melt even the hardest steel.

“Alright, you go rest first.” Lu Changsheng’s heart softened, and he told Bing’er to go back to the ice coffin to sleep.

Then he continued to ask the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse, “Besides the Corpse Devil Prime Qi, did you notice anything else?”

“This subordinate is truly incompetent.” The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse looked at the closed crystal coffin, feeling very regretful that he couldn’t research her condition.

Lu Changsheng did not blame him and proceeded to describe the information he had gathered from examining Bing’er’s Physical Body during these past few days.

For example, her Physical Body had already reached the fourth rank.

And her bones were crystal clear and transparent, with patterns of Dao Rhyme intertwined and flowing through them.

“Indestructible Bone!?”

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse’s expression immediately became surprised and doubtful upon hearing about Bing’er’s bones.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, knew about Indestructible Bone; it was a respectful title for top-tier refined corpses.

It represented the highest Realm of Yin Corpses.

However, the Indestructible Bone mentioned by the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse was not the same Indestructible Bone he knew.

Instead, it was a type of Aptitude, talent, and potential!

Similar to a Cultivator’s Spiritual Root or spiritual body, it indicated that Bing’er had the potential to become a fifth-rank Corpse Venerable!

Furthermore, her current condition was precisely an advancement towards becoming an Indestructible Bone.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse was shocked; he truly couldn’t imagine how Lu Changsheng had obtained such a top-tier Yin Corpse.

If Bing’er were given to him for research, he felt that his Corpse Dao and Cultivation Realm could both be greatly improved, perhaps even taking another step forward!

Because within her body, there must be an supreme Corpse Dao Legacy!

“Master, Young Miss Bing’er’s condition has already surpassed the Legacy of my Heavenly Corpse Sect. Based on my judgment, she is definitely not an ordinary Yin Corpse or refined corpse; it’s highly possible that she is a Great Cultivator who underwent Corpse Transformation and Reincarnation through a Corpse Cultivation Legacy…”

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse analyzed, believing that the difficulty of refining an Yin Corpse like Bing’er was too high and overly stringent.

Moreover, if refined, she would struggle to develop spiritual intelligence and behave like a young girl with a pure heart.

“A Great Cultivator, huh…” Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm; he had already suspected this.

He nodded and said, “Yes, I also suspected as much. In her early years, Bing’er even experienced an Awakening of a second personality, as if she had become a different person, and her strength greatly increased.”

“What, Awakening a second personality?”

The Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse’s grayish-green face changed, startled by this news again.

Bing’er had brought him too many shocks today.

A top-tier Yin Corpse that surpassed the Legacy of his Heavenly Corpse Sect, yet she also had a sleeping second personality.

If this wasn’t a Great Cultivator’s Reincarnation, he wouldn’t believe it.

For a moment, he felt a sense of dread towards Bing’er.

He feared that the second personality within her body would awaken and take an interest in his Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Just then, the Sect Master of Heavenly Corpse seemed to recall something and said to Lu Changsheng, “Master, there is a record in the Legacy scriptures of my Heavenly Corpse Sect, called [Corpse Immortal Ascension].”

“Corpse Immortal Ascension?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“The core of this Legacy lies in the words ‘Corpse Ascension.’ First, one refines oneself into a Corpse. After the Yin Corpse body reaches Major Achievement, the [Corpse Shell] is dissolved, absorbed, and all yin and evil external forms are stripped away through secret methods or Heavenly Tribulation, returning to its original purity to condense the ultimate Yin and pure Corpse Immortal Body!”

“Young Miss Bing’er’s situation, apart from having a dual personality, is somewhat similar to this Corpse Immortal Ascension Legacy. However, this Legacy is extremely difficult to Cultivate and has long been lost. My Heavenly Corpse Sect only has a few records of it in its Legacy scriptures.”

Yan Wujiang told Lu Changsheng his conjecture.

Although this conjecture was very bold.

Bing’er’s situation had already astonished him beyond measure.

Moreover, Bing’er’s condition was unknown even to Yangming True Lord, who was a Reincarnation of a mighty being, which meant it far surpassed his own understanding. Therefore, he dared to speculate and deduce boldly.

“For this Corpse Immortal Ascension Legacy, what Realm is considered Major Achievement for the Yin Corpse body? Fourth rank, fifth rank?”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes and asked.

“This depends on the Cultivation Technique Legacy; different Cultivation Techniques have different conditions.”

“Some Cultivation Technique Legacies might consider the Yin Corpse body to have reached Major Achievement at the fourth rank, while others might require the fourth rank Middle Stage, Late Stage, or even fifth rank.”

Yan Wujiang said this, only knowing that he didn’t understand much about this Corpse Dao Legacy.

“Young Miss Bing’er’s situation is very unusual; perhaps only when her entire body’s bones transform into [Indestructible Bone] will her Yin Corpse body be considered to have reached Major Achievement,” Yan Wujiang speculated.

Once her entire body’s bones advanced to Indestructible Bone, even if Bing’er didn’t advance to a fifth-rank Corpse Venerable, she would still be a quasi-fifth-rank existence.

If, as he speculated, she was a mighty being Cultivating the Corpse Immortal Ascension Legacy, then this mighty being would at least be a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, or even a True Venerable Transformation God!

Thinking of this, Yan Wujiang felt his throat dry and his scalp tingle.
